lyrics

My friends think I'm crazy
They said I should never go out walking on the streets alone
Not in this kind of weather
Not in this kind of place
It's too dangerous
They say, "did you see the news last night?
Two kids on their way home from school
No you can't go out there."

But I don't care what they say
Behind my back or to my face
It's ok
I'm better off this way

My friends think I'm lazy
They said I should never be sleeping in past nine
Not somebody my age
Not someone with a full-time job
I might get fired
They say, "Have you heard the unemployment line
It's growing faster than weeds outside?
No you can't go on like this."

I don't care what they say
Behind my back or to my face
It's ok
I'm better off this way

She lived where she could
In my neighborhood
She's a rock
And even though I could
Be misunderstood
I'm a knock

Tap tap tapping on her front door
"Come in, have a seat on the floor
It's raining, it's late, and I'm tired
What's your desire?"

I'm wide awake
Everybody shake off your lows
I'm wide awake
Everybody shake off your lows

Shake off your lows
Shake off your lows
Shake off your lows
Shake off your lows

Walking back home in the last dead of night
A mysterious man, a flickering street light
The weight of the world couldn't ruin my flight
I'm on my way

I don't care what they say
Behind my back or to my face
I don't care what they say
Behind my back or to my face
It's ok
I'm better off this way
